Scorpions found themselves in unfamiliar territory in the first 15 minutes of play, with some great lead up work from the midfield passing the ball through to Sam who found himself in open ground and took the ball to the goal line and putting the ball in the right side of the goal.

Scorpions in front for the first time for the season. Scorpions defence line supported the midfield and Jack struck the ball wide and Sam C gathered it up and passed it through to Sam L for him to get his 2nd goal, Scorpions 2/0, Wingham struck back with a late goal and Scorpions went to the break up 2/1. Scorpions Manager and Coach called the team in and let the team know it was the best 30 minutes of play they have had yet and keep up the good work. The 2nd half began and both teams where back and forth each missing attempts and Wingham finally broke through with their 2nd goal to level the score. Scorpions had several other attempts but were shut down at the last second.

Wingham in the last ten minutes caught us of guard and picked up there 3rd, Wingham winning 3/2. This has been the best performance by the scorpions and I know a win is just around the corner. We have come a long way from our first game loss. Keep up the good work

Kayden S. had an outstanding first half bagging himself a hat trick, bringing the half time score to 3-1.
